Bringin Sexy Back-, She is Finished-The final installment Options

[ellisor3]

I have not posted the progress of my 73 six conversion, so I thought before I got it to paint I should post some pics. The car was purchased from a guy in Ohio as a "Virtually Rust Free Car". He provided photos and did point out some of the rust spots. He neglected to point out that the car had once been wrecked in the rear and there was no rust from the wreck because they used 40 lbs of bondo to cover it. The entire trunk had to be cut out to fix it, as well as part of the passenger floor panel.

Anyway it is about to go to the painter to get GT Flares, GT Rocker Panels, GT Rear Valence and some new color. All in all this car is in great shape, all things considered. Any way here you go.

Remember that picture of the blockage in the oil supply line?

I cut the end of that hose off and opened it up to have a look. I'm not sure the source of this hose, but this makes me wonder if it's compatible with the fitting that was installed on it (Earl's -16 straight).

The lining was detached. Very scary for the engine if this stuff came off. Now I'm going to have to pull the other end off the oil tank to see if it looks the same.

For a car that was previously running a /6, I'm having to almost start from scratch on the conversion stuff because it was either under-done or done incorrectly.

Whatever. It'll be right when it leaves here.
